After ample speculation and anticipation, it looks like the visual component of Beyonce‘s blockbuster ‘Renaissance’ album is finally nearing release.

With just one more show to go, Beyonce is on the cusp of wrapping up her colossal ‘Renaissance World Tour.’
Since launching in May, the mammoth spectacle has dominated headlines, gone viral many times over, and re-cemented the diva as today’s defining performer. Not that there was ever any doubt.
Mounted in support of the chart-topping ‘Renaissance’ album, the trek has also made history by becoming the highest-grossing tour by a female artist ever.
As we prepare to say goodbye to a live show that many have deemed one of the greatest of all time, That Grape Juice has tallied 5 things we want to see next from Queen Bey.
Join us after the jump…
Beyonce sprung quite the surprise on the hometown crowd at the Houston stop of the ‘Renaissance World Tour’ tonight.
For, Queen Bey brought out fellow Houston native Megan Thee Stallion.
Hitting the stage to thunderous applause, the Hot Girl Coach joined the megastar to deliver a rousing rendition of their GRAMMY-winning chart-topper ‘Savage.’
The showing marks the first time the power pair have performed the song together since its release in 2020.
Blowing the proverbial roof off the NRG Stadium, the duo exchanged heartfelt “I love you”s, with Bey expressing how “proud” she was of the femcee.

Continuing this week’s VMAs celebration, the latest edition of From The Vault spotlights a memorable performance from the show’s rich archive. Today, we present Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and Jessie J‘s blazing show-opening performance at the VMAs 2024.
MTV fired from all cylinders with the kick-off of its 31st annual Video Music Awards ceremony, commencing the festivities with three of that year’s biggest hitmakers.
Ms. Grande graced the stage first with a futuristic rendition of her EDM hit, ‘Break Free,’ once again showcasing her remarkable vocal talent. Next up was the evening’s hostess with the mostest, Nicki Minaj, delivering a stunning sting with ‘Anaconda’ in a manner that left nothing to be desired: charisma, flow, and boundless energy.
The duo then united with Jessie J to perform their global sensation, ‘Bang Bang,’ and not even a wardrobe malfunction could deter them from stealing the show from the get-go.
What an exciting time! While female collaborations are now the standard in a post-‘WAP’ world, this was far from the case in the mid-2010s. This song alone felt like a monumental event, but this performance, along with several subsequent reunions from the ladies, elevated it to even greater heights. Almost a decade has passed, and it remains as thrilling as ever. Kudos ladies!

This week, we want to highlight cuts from Zara Larsson, Maren Morris, Noah Kahan, and The Wandering Hearts .

Indeed, as reported, speculation was rife that there was friction between the stars after what some interpreted as “tense” words were exchanged.
An eye-witness quickly provided clarity, confirming no drama occurred. Quite the contrary, as the pair were engaged in friendly dialogue.
